Data that school districts submit in REP are used to produce school personnel reports for the U.S. Department of Education and the State of Michigan. The Michigan Department of Education uses REP data for their teacher certification audit.

(Nonpublic schools submit their personnel data in the Nonpublic School Personnel Report.)

  • CEPI District/ISD/PSA User Application Security Form
  • Updating records within 30 days: Districts are required to update records in the REP within 30 days of changes in employment or assignment. 
  • Certification deadlines: REP data must be certified by the last business day of June and the first business day in December.

See the CEPI Calendar Page for our master calendar of deadlines and collection dates.

Mi-Key

Mi-Key is an integrated system that maintains a single unique identifier for individuals in the education sector and uses advanced matching to let us connect education data records over time, including student (early childhood through postsecondary) and educational personnel, resulting in reduced reporting burdens and increased efficiency.

In late 2025, Mi-Key will be integrated into REP. This initial integration will transfer PIC generation to Mi-Key, which includes identifier/demographic matching. PIC processing will continue to perform as it does today, with minimal impact to users. Further integration with other state systems, such as MiEdWorkforce, will follow.

This backend system will contain the state-recognized education identifier and be the source of truth for the identifier and a limited set of demographics.
